Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 29, 2026
What We Collect
Calamari collects only what's needed to make the app work:
- Account info — When you sign in with Apple, we receive your Apple-provided user identifier and optional display name. We never see your email or Apple ID password.
- Ratings you submit — Food type, restaurant name and address, your rating (1–10), photo, and optional notes. These are stored in Apple’s CloudKit and visible to other Calamari users.
- Usage analytics — We count how often features are used (e.g. tab switches, searches, wizard steps) to improve the app. These counts don’t include your name, ratings, photos, or location. Like everything saved to CloudKit, they’re stored with an anonymous CloudKit account ID, not your Apple ID or email.
What We Don’t Collect
- We do not collect your email address, phone number, or contacts.
- We do not track your precise location for analytics. Location is used only on-device to show nearby restaurants and sort results.
- We do not sell, share, or rent any data to third parties.
- We do not use third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.
How Data Is Stored
All data is stored in Apple’s CloudKit infrastructure. Your ratings live in the CloudKit public database so other users can discover them. Analytics are stored as simple feature counts.
Your Choices
- Don’t sign in — You can browse ratings without an account. Your ratings, photos, and profile are only stored once you sign in and post.
- Sign out anytime — Tap Sign Out in your profile to disconnect your account.
- Delete your data — Tap “Delete Account & Data” in your profile to permanently remove all your ratings, bookmarks, and reactions.
Children’s Privacy
Calamari is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to This Policy
If we update this policy, the revised version will appear here with a new date. Continued use of the app means you accept the changes.
